with more to come. We'll be sharing details of the specials on our social media channels as we get closer to showtime. If your business wants to participate, please skip down to the next item in this newsletter for more details.
Another brand new addition this year: Dog Valet.
We're working with
Life of Riley
at 2222 18th St NW to allow your pooch a night out with some of his/her friends while you're enjoying the movie. To participate, each dog owner needs to complete a registration form and bring their dog to Life of Riley for a temperament test to ensure they are suitable for open play. They will also need a copy of each dog's vaccination records. Reservations are required -- space is limited to 10 small dogs and 10 big dogs. For information and to reserve a spot, call (202) 800-8808.
